Making Bank offers an inside look into BanklessDAO and showcases the people, ideas, and projects that keep it at the forefront of web3. Each week, we invite DAO members to join us for conversations about DAO life, the future of work, crypto, web3, and their journeys to becoming more bankless.
Today's guests are Al Mithani and Chris Biele, aka Links and NFThinker. They're here to share some exciting news about Bankless Card, a core project at BanklessDAO.

Today’s episode marks our 50th show since we relaunched it in February of 2022. Over these nearly two years, we’ve stayed true to our mission: offering a window into the people of BanklessDAO and the projects they are working on that drive their passion in exploring web3 technology and culture. Though a large percentage of our contributors are U.S.-based, we are a global organization working toward decentralization and exploring the potential of these tools. Today you’ll hear a bit of reflection on how BanklessDAO came to be, and the personal story of one of it’s earliest members.

Today’s guest is Ed On, aka jackalpha in Discord. Ed studied civil engineering, so he’s a bridge builder in the literal and metaphorical sense. Just prior to getting into web3, he worked as a web2 product manager at Samsung. Ed is on the core team at Bankless Japan, part of the IMN or International Media Nodes at BanklessDAO. He also works on WonderVerse.xyz and WonderCommunities.com. Wonder builds the WonderVerse, which is collaboration tooling for web3 communities to manage projects, proposals, and grants seamlessly in one place. A few months ago he co-presented with Yuki_xyz during BUIDL week, a hackathon at EthDenver in Colorado. And he was recently in Japan, attending DAO Tokyo and EthTokyo where he met up with fellow DAO contributors, including a few of our Bankless frens.
